Wash and dry the fresh figs. Cut them into quarters and set aside.

Gently lay the slices of prosciutto over the arugula, slightly tearing them into smaller pieces if needed.
Distribute the quartered figs evenly across the salad.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for a nutty and salty flavor boost.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad, coating all the components lightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of sweet, savory, and peppery notes.
